only problem i'd have with that, is he'd probably try and throw a twist in about time travel and an alternative reality that influences the reality the film is supposed to be in...
Because he also applies a certain degree of depth of character and a surprising narrative arc. That sorta makes him a good director, where as Bay is more a loud director.
that's true. although, there was only slight character development in cloverfield. the first 30mins was character development, the rest of the film seemed frantic and slightly disjointed at some parts.
then again, everytime i think about cloverfield i focus on the bit when they're walking through the subway tunnels and the parasites start attacking after the camera guy starts talking about flaming hobo's...and then i start thinking of a parody of cloverfield called Flaming Hobo's and the parasites are replaced with flaming hobo's...it's funny...and i'm ranting again WTF?!
And still way more intriguing than any Bay works past "The Rock".
Bay isnt a patch on Damon Lindelfhof's ass.
The fact that LOST, and the last Star Trek were more the work of he rather than Abrahams, is testimony to the fact that Abrahams is a smart money man, whereas Lindelhof is the real seal of quality, it would seem. And to this would explain the big jump in quality between the afformentioned, and Cloverfield.
If humankind was as devoted to finding the worst terrorists in the world, as they are clamping down on spelling errors,
we'd have found, caught and executed Bin Laden years ago.
